Plaid. Nantucket. Of dice and whales.

It`s a minimalistic strategy/role-playing game that has spontaneously emerged from the depths below, rich in valuable blubber that is the story, and can easily harpoon you into liking it. While not being exactly picturesque with most of encounters illustrated in text the game does manage to capture an atmosphere of a dreadful, yet adventurous business that whaling was in early 19^th century.

Plaid. PlayerUnknown`s Batllegrounds. The best chicken dinner in town according to some guy on Twitch.

Surely you`ve already heard of this game. With a large group of streamers on Twitch, with at least 30 million copies sold, with a recent record of 3 million concurrent players on Steam PUBG is one of the highlights of the previous year. Yet as buggy and un-optimised as it is the game surely earned its` record figures.

Plaid. Tooth and Tail. Baby`s first civil war

Tooth and Tail has simple mechanic to it. In fact, it is probably the first strategy game that works really well with a gamepad. It offers only one type of resource, only six units/structures per game that you get to pick before the match, only four players max per map. Yet it is surprisingly brutal and fast-paced with ranked (1v1) matches rarely going for more than 15 minutes and a simple and minor miscalculation being your fatal mistake that would cost you the match.

Plaid. Destiny 2. The Rainbow Cake Simulator

//Introducing Plaid - my attempt to review games! Feel free to comment and challenge my opinion. I`d like to start off with one of the most recent entries to the FPS world, Destiny 2.

Imagine a cake. Beautiful on the outside yet bland and tasteless on the inside. In short, that sums up my thoughts of Destiny 2. It doesn`t really try to push the limits both story and game mechanic-wise. It feels as if Bungie set out to make a game that wouldn`t fail at any cost and in doing so sacrificed any attempts to make it a classic. Anyway, let`s take a closer look.

A year later

Hello!

It has been quite a while since I last wrote anything here. Reason to that is that I was busy with other things, games included. So I would like to share my view on the games that I`ve played in the last months. Stay tuned!

Bērzpils. Project halted.

Hi! Hope you`re having a wonderful time. I just wanted to let everybody that`s following the progress know that the project is currently not being worked at due to other commitments IRL. That doesn`t necessarily mean that it won`t be finished (at least to the state of version 0.5). All it means that the work will resume some time in 2017. I won`t throw out any approximate release dates as I have before since I probably won`t follow it anyways :)

In any case, sorry if I`ve caused inconvenience to you.

Happy holidays!
Peace!

Before we begin, I`d like to say thank you to everybody that`s following the progress!
